Ace Hollywood

"Come on, Mark, Fox has blind eyes and nothing to do with Avatar."

James is known as a tyrant, but he will also make a little joke about these big people who are equal to him.

Mark rolled his eyes, "The problem is that Fox is very hesitant now. If they want to continue shooting a sequel, then this distribution method will definitely not be approved by the board of directors."

"If I remember correctly, there is a clause in our agreement that DD Films has the freedom to shoot sequels?" Daniel raised his eyebrows. Of course, Daniel agreed to shoot such a small-budget comedy, and he also asked for the right to cast sequels. Fox Thought he was just playing it safe. But looking at it now, DD Films and Fox both have joint venture and sole proprietorship rights. But the important point is that Daniel belongs to DD Films, so DD Films has complete conditions for shooting sequels.

This is the headache for Fox. For them, there is one less option.

If they plan to film on their own, Daniel will definitely not appear in the sequel.

Even if they are working together on James' "Avatar", it will never change Daniel's mind-if Fox intends to abandon DD, then Daniel will not hesitate to refuse a sequel. Moreover, DD Pictures will not hesitate to shoot its own sequel--with Daniel's, the real sequel.

There's no doubting who fans will buy into - the cast is an important hallmark of the sequel.

Mark rubbed his forehead, "This is really a headache, I knew it must not be a simple matter when you watched "Night at the Museum Ball" back then."

"Oh no, it was a simple decision to get close to you and get involved in Avatar."

Daniel gave an honest answer.

From the expressions of Mark and James, you can see how honest he is.

"...Well, you got your wish, and you picked up a movie with a global box office of 600 million for nothing?" Mark rubbed his left chest artificially, where the heart is, and he wanted to say that his heart hurts.

James spread his hands helplessly.

"Daniel has always been like this. Disney and you may have a common language."

This obviously refers to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", dd Pictures used 33% of the investment rights in the "Pirates" series, which made many people feel envious. The box office of "Pirate 2" has already told everyone without a doubt. How big is the market and potential of this commercial series? So far, the two "Pirates of the Caribbean" have brought Disney and DD Pictures nearly 8 billion in various operating income. With the "Pirates 2" With the arrival of various income window periods, it is not impossible for this number to rise to tens of billions.

The cumulative box office of the two films is 2 billion, according to the ratio of 20%-30%. The total revenue has indeed approached tens of billions. Of course, most of them belong to Disney, and DD Films only has a small part of it. However, in "Pirate 2" and subsequent series, the proportion of DD Films will increase , this number will be very impressive.

Mark wanted to say something more, but was interrupted roughly by James, "Okay, stop here. Daniel is not here to discuss business with you today."

James brought Daniel to the studio.

"Today you have to have them make a computer model of you."

Many staff,

Things have been prepared, those clothes are covered with various electronic devices, Daniel looked at them with great interest.

"Daniel, wave your hand."

Daniel, who was wearing a green tight-fitting special effects suit, listened to the engineer's command, moved his hands and feet, and then jumped, turned, and squatted down. Leaning forward... wait, quite a bit of movement, going on and on for almost three hours, intermittently. Add some discussion and explanations before Daniel takes off the uncomfortable suit.

"It's amazing, but it's not flattering at all." Daniel moved to the side of the computer, "Have the images of Zoe and Sigourney been made yet?"

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"uh-huh."

The special effects engineer quickly called up the images of the two leading actresses.

"Wow, so lifelike."

See on the computer. Zoe and Sigourney moved their hands and feet there smoothly and naturally, "Technology is really a wonderful thing."

After sighing, Daniel found that whether it was Mark, James, or the engineer next to him, they all looked at him with rather playful eyes, which made him a little puzzled, "What happened?"

", I am an employee of Weta."

"Weta Digital? Oh, my—God!" Daniel shrugged. "Well, my company with Richard and Peter is really good."

...

Leaving the studio, Mark was chased away by the unbearable James, and James, Daniel and Jon Landau, the three producers, gathered in the conference room.

"Now the animals and the Na'vi people have been created, but there are still some terrains, such as mountains and vegetation." James opened a concept film with some floating peaks that are not particularly detailed, "similar to this."

Daniel is all too familiar with this.

China used to argue about where this scene came from.

That's right, Hallelujah Mountain.

"Why don't you go to other countries to find it?" Daniel suggested with a bit of mischief, "I promise, at least in China, we can get a lot of materials, there are a lot of such exquisite things, just turn them into levitating That's it."

"Is it?"

Daniel nodded, "Well, let me ask the staff of dd China to find some photos and video materials for you to see, and you can judge whether it is suitable. If it is suitable, we will send some people there."

"good idea."

Jon Landau also nodded, "There are indeed many strange mountains in China, and there must be some ideas that can inspire James."

"Speaking of which, Daniel should be quite familiar with China?"

The establishment of dd China was delayed for two months, and it was officially announced after the Oscars. DD Films has created a joint venture with an official Chinese film company, which is also big news in Hollywood.

It is impossible for Jon Landau and James not to know.

"Chinese joint ventures can only produce movies. According to their laws, the distribution work needs to be handed over to another shareholder, China Film Corporation. That is a trust in China, so under the current conditions, this can be regarded as a Nice deal."

"Are you sure you want to make local Chinese movies there? To be honest, that land is full of mystery. It's too long a history to make it difficult to understand."

"But some things are always in common, not to mention, dd also has local partners." (To be continued.)
